R inky Dinky Linky

Looks sweet but those rams things on the front can't be legal surely.

Thats what i was thinking. Dont think it would need IVA though as it seems to use the very rare (aparently) TR7 chassis.

That looks nice in some quarters but a bit to heavy on the back.
will make a nice car... very different

TR7 was a monocoque.

Eh? It says it's a custom one-off chassis?!?!? It would need IVA. That would be fun!!

The V8 version of the TR7 was called the TR8 iirc and there weren't many made that stayed in the UK, of the 3000 ish made most headed to the US. I once heard the figure of 20 in the UK from a friend who actually liked them. Lots were fitted with the V8 as conversions though.

As MikeRJ says the TR7 was a monocoque so no chassis to build on. Needs an IVA.

"Front suspension is unique double coil over wishbones and GAZ adjustable shocks. "
I think he means 'unique double wishbones with coil over adjustable GAZ shocks'.
Obviously not a member on here then.
